I found myself at the brink of tears at the end of this week. We began to meet with students to request their courses for next school year and the revolving door of uncooperative, loud and at time unruly freshman pushed me to my limit.
In times like this I try to remember why I love my job, but it is in times like this that is hard to remember. I would like to say that everyday is rainbows and ponies and unicorns, that I love my job, and stressful days don't get to me, but that wouldn't be true. It is interesting, because I also find that there are some stressful days that I thrive on. It all depends on the situation, and the other things going on in my life.
So, I am taking this moment to reflect on what I love and why I do what I do day in and day out. Why did I choose this profession of school counseling?
1. Kids are awesome - all ages - they are amazing
2. I can listen and respond without judgement
3. You want to do amazing things with your life? I want to help you get there!
4. Schools are places of growth and opportunity
5. I get to share in student's joys and successes
